  1. The virus induced panic caused by our government should help replenish their black ops funds they used to short the market. ( a market they’ve been propping up for 10 years with falsified data and offshore trading accounts )

    1. ShareThisFastDOTcom
      Worldwide
      174,317 cases
      7,085 deaths
      79,113 recovered

      The TV Corporate News Media is selling anti-Trump fear.

    1. Not in this society! It’s the rich and corporations in diguised as “the economy” that need the bail out!

  2. You can bet there is a “kickback” to the trump family in this stimulus package.
    The only reason trump is now on board with the virus issue is because he now sees how it can be used to benefit him financially and politically (the dủuption ò the democrat primaries and dragging it out until November’s election

    1. Parlez64
      And you highlight your own dumb comments about Trump. The Market was up 500 points today after Trump press conference.

      The CDC just issued these nCOV-19 world wide numbers:
      174,317 cases
      7,085 deaths
      79,118 recovered

      Note this:
      Estimated that over 250,000 people died from N1H1.

    2. HILDABEAST, The stock market lost all its gains from the past 3 years, thanx to the oompa loompa in the white house.

    3. So you’re saying this is Trump’s fault? he’s been in office three and a half years. Joe Biden was elected to office in 1973 that was a decade before HIV and we can go on and on about Nancy Pelosi being there 30 plus years and all these career politicians way before Donald Trump, explain to me where their contingency plan was before this episode happened and why measures weren’t in place way before Donald Trump ever showed up because we’ve only had 12 or 15 pandemics since 1973 , so for you to blame Trump is insane but…..

  3. The volatility of the market is a direct result of a highly unstable President with zero understanding of how an economy works.

    1. We had mass jobs gains and almost got 30k DJI. It mostly due to the Coronavirus, not because of trump. All global markets crashed, not just the US. People have faith that trump will bring the economy back, Biden can’t do that

    2. If you don’t think Trump isn’t buying right now you haven’t been paying attention to what he has been doing to the market since his term began.

    3. @Logan McLean look at the national deficit (even before the outbreak) and you’ll see what had propped up Trump’s economy. You can keep your faith in this president if you choose but for your sake and the sake of your family, be cautious with your money.

  4. Or, “Dow Rises After Huge Drop the Previous Day”.
    If the Dow makes up for the nearly 3000 point drop from yesterday, then maybe I’ll accept the “Trump factor”.
    I predict the Dow will climb today, but not anywhere near the amount it lost yesterday. Then tomorrow morning it will crash again.

  5. Lol impeach him for even implying this is a 2billion dollar fix. Literally have leader more dumb than Homer Simpson. Oh crap…. it’s a Simpson’s world!!!!

  6. Stephanie… why do you think people will just suddenly ignore the good advice to stay home and instead go blow whatever little money they get, while probably just lost the job or are on the brink of losing it? This guy is right, this is different from anything anyone alive ever experienced in the US. Dropping money on the business side isnt going to do much, the recession will come, jobs will be lost by the millions – what matters is two fold:

    1. Get the pandemic under control
    2. Make sure people dont lose their jobs by providing paid sick leave and take this burden from the employers (but not the mega corporations who can afford it) and take care of those who lose the job anyway

  7. Tell me again why we need to bailout the airline industry to the tune of $60 billion? United made $1 billion in profits last year.

  8. I’ve had it with the dow….somebody needs to stop this car and take their belt off…it’s whup down time!!!!!

  9. I disagree with the guy… wtf? If I’m given money I’m for sure going to buy things I need! Especially being furloughed as of yesterday due to COVID-19!!

  10. European Commission Head – “ We underestimated Coronavirus.”
    Ok LEFTSTREAM MEDIA……. let’s hear your vitriolic hatred aimed at them like you do at President Trump.
